My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lilly and Iggy are the perfect pair of 2 year old buddies looking for their forever home!

This adorable duo embodies the definition of opposites attract. Where Iggy is quiet and reserved, Lilly is chatty and lets you know exactly what she’s thinking!

Iggy loves relaxing, taking naps, and eating treats. He loves a gentle chin or shoulder scratch and has a deep rumbling purr once you’ve found the right spot. Lilly loves to watch the birds outside, hunt her foster parents while they walk around, and get as many pets and scratches as she can. Both cats will join you on your lap and snuggle. They aren't sure about toys with bells or that make sounds, but they love playing with string toys and ""the bird.""

These cutie pies will let you know when they’re ready for breakfast! They like to be petted while they’re starting their meals, and then head off to groom themselves and sunbathe together.


Because Lilly is FeLV+, this pair cannot live with another resident or adopted cat unless it is also FeLV+. Iggy, however does not have FeLV. Because he lived with her sibling Lilly who is FeLV+, the vets theorize that his body created natural immunities and was able to prevent itself from contracting the disease. How incredible is that?! FeLV is not contagious to humans or dogs but can be transferred to other cats which is why the duo should not live with any other non FeLV cats. But good thing for you, Lilly and Iggy have enough love and personality to go around! Annual vet visits, regular immunizations, and your love will help Lily maintain a normal, healthy, and happy life. You can read more about FeLV here: https://tinyurl.com/ycxhwcmu.

Iggy and Lilly would benefit from a home with a calm, loving family. Lilly will warm up more quickly than her pal and will be happy to sit in your lap while you work or watch TV. Iggy will need time and patience, and a quiet place to observe his surroundings. He may be shy at first, but once he warms up to you and gets settled he is very loving. They have not been around children but would probably do well with older kids and teens who can approach them calmly!

Both cats will need regular vet check-ups, quality wet and dry food, and to be kept indoors to prevent illness or spreading of FeLV.

This is a really sweet pair of cats that will bring someone so much laughter and companionship! Be patient with them as they adjust to their new home, and you’ll have two best buds for life!

Additional adoption info

Pet Haven is a foster-based rescue. Our animals live with foster families until they are placed in permanent homes and their foster families get to know the dogs and cats learning important information about the animals. For example, the foster family will know if the dog or cat is good with other animals or children, and will have a good idea of what kind of training, attention, and special needs the pet may require. This makes our foster families great resources for potential adopters!

More about this rescue

Our Mission
Pet Haven improves the lives of pets and the people who love them by rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs and cats; reducing pet overpopulation by supporting spay and neuter efforts, and providing resources to people that help strengthen the human-animal bond.

Our Vision
A Minnesota where all pets live in safe, loving homes.

Our Values
Excellence in service and care; community; integrity; innovation; perseverance; compassion; a rewarding place to volunteer

How We Help
Spay/Neuter Initiative Program: Providing support to end pet overpopulation in Minnesota
Owner Surrender: Providing a safe haven for pet owners
Foster: Committed to finding forever homes for cats and dogs
Phoenix Fund for Special Needs: Providing veterinary care for animals in need of healing
What We Do
We help dogs and cats find homes with loving families through foster-based care. Every dog and cat lives with a foster family until they find their forever families. We provide all of their basic needs including proper food, veterinary care, behavior training, and supplies.

Through in-home fostering, we learn about each animal’s temperament, personality, likes/dislikes, and any medical needs. With this first-hand information, we can then find the right family for each dog and cat.

Our volunteers also educate the public on responsible companion animal care and represent respect for animals at all times. Whether we’re working with prospective new families, meeting people at public events, or socializing with friends and family, we encourage others to view and treat their pets as members of the family. We are their guardians, and they depend on us for companionship and care.


We spay/neuter prior to adoption.
We microchip all our Pet Haven Pets and remain as a secondary contact.
We make sure all pets are up to date on required vaccinations
We test for Heartworm and Lymes in all our dogs and are transparent in the results and treament
We test for FeLV/FIV and are transparent in the results. We believe that cats who test positive still deserve a chance at a quality home.
We do not euthanize animals unless they have untreatable health or behavioral conditions that deny them an acceptable quality of life or makes them a serious threat to people, other animals, or themselves.
How We Operate
We rely on adoption fees, tax-deductible donations, grants, and special events to keep our rescue operating. Our staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers have provided the passion and commitment to keep Pet Haven a safe haven for animals for almost 70 years.

We are committed to preventing pet homelessness through the SNIP Grant. Since 2005, we have granted more than $240,000 to organizations in Minnesota to support spay/neuter initiatives.
